The Nextlander Podcast 261: Jedi Master Frank Columbo (Patreon)

Our esteem for Big Walk gets bigger this week, we run through a block of older roguelikes including Noita, Slay the Spire, Darkest Dungeon, and, uh, Quake, Sony still doesn't know when the PS6 is coming out, Warren Spector's august career is coming to a close, there are levels of sleepmaxxing we didn't even know about, the rules around Kiwi weed (Kiwiid?) are pretty strict, and more.
